The problem with our ST205 is that the flat 4 is mounted horizontally.
Ive heard of v6 implants but is it possible to do a V8? Think about it. Its about the same length as a straight 4, being 4 and 4 cyliners parallel just much wider meaning when mounted sideways, its fuller towards the fire wall and rad. So if so I could imagine relocating the rad further beyond the slam panel and it could work. Now what V8 made by toyota that can mate up with the E145 gearbox?

Someone put a 2JZ in their 7th gen Celica, have $15,000 invested into the project PLUS the original vehicle cost...and that's just front engine RWD. You're talking about hacking up the structure of a uni-body vehicle. You're looking at fabricating a tube chassis and putting the Celica body over it. Have you ever built a car chassis? Do you know how you would register that? Pass MOT? Do you have a welder? Pipe bender? What kind of tubing are you going to use? How do you stress test your weld joints? Where should you use a 3 pass fillet weld vs a 2 pass? Single pass? Are you supposed to keyhole Chromoly tubing? What shield gas do you use with 7018 rod?
Which one of those questions is bogus? This post has been edited by Bitter: May 26, 2013 - 2:07 PM -------------------- |
